Love the rooms , decor and location. 2nd time we have reserved a rooftop room. On both occassions we were not told there was a wedding happening and so we were not able to enjoy the rooftop views. For the price of the rooms, I feel we have been made aware of this. Front desk staff seemed lazy- no TP in main floor bathroom . But hotel is in an excellent location hotel is unique and beautiful.

We adore the property, the location and staff. We would however love a later checkout option, even if we had to pay for it. We totally understand, though that Ballard is a boutique, small hotel, and it may not make sense. But still it’s on our wish list.
